WEBVTT
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
NOW, TO WEST GEORGIA ROAD.
THAT'S NEAR GREENVILLE TECH.
THAT ROAD HAD BEEN SHUT DOWN FOR
A WHILE, BUT IT HAS SINCE
REOPENED.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE FIND WYFF
NEWS 4'S JOHN LYON.
JOHN?
JOHN: I AM AT 1920 WEST GEORGIA
ROAD HERE IN SIMPSONVILLE, AND
THE POWER, AS YOU CAN SEE, IS
STILL OUT OUT HERE, BUT THE
SOUTH GREENVILLE FIRE DISTRICT
HAS SET UP A GENERATOR WITH SOME
LIGHT SO WE CAN SHOW YOU SOME OF
THE DAMAGE OUT HERE.
NOW, THIS MOBILE HOME BEHIND ME
WAS DAMAGED.
TWO TREES FELL ON IT, BUT THE
PEOPLE GOT OUT SAFELY.
THERE ARE DOWNED POWER LINES OUT
HERE, RUSTED WATER MAINS AND
BUSTED GAS LINES.
THERE ARE ALSO PARTS OF MOBILE
HOMES ALL AROUND OUT HERE.
THIS PIECE JUST HAPPENED TO BE
HERE, AND IT CAME FROM WHO KNOWS
WHERE, BUT IT IS PART OF THE
DAMAGE OUT HERE.
NOW, MANY ANXIOUS RESIDENTS
SPENT THE EVENING LOW SPOT AT A
GAS STATION, ON THE PHONE,
CONTACTING THEIR FRIENDS AND
RELATIVES, WAITING TO GET BACK
INTO THEIR HOMES.
THE SOUTH GREENVILLE FIRE
DISTRICT OFFICIALS SAY THEY HAVE
CHECKED EACH HOME AND EVERY
MOBILE HOME IN THE AREA OUT
HERE, AND THEY ARE REPORTING
FIVE MINOR INJURIES.
THOSE PEOPLE WERE TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL TO BE CHECKED OUT.
EARLIER, I TALKED TO SOME PEOPLE
WHO WERE HERE WHEN THE STORM
HIT.
>> A LOT OF KIDS AND NEIGHBORS
WERE IN THE BATHROOM.
MY NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR.
TRYING TO TAKE COVER.
AND BEHIND ME, THE TRAMPOLINE,
IT IS 20 FEET UP IN THE AIR IN
THE TREE, AND ACROSS THE STREET.
IT IS BAD DOWN AND THERE.
>> I DID SEE A LARGE OBJECT,
PROBABLY ABOUT 100 YARDS AWAY
FROM HE, GOING IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION THAT I WAS.
I COULD NOT MAKE OUT WHAT IT
WAS.
THEY SAID IT WAS A TRAILER.
MAYBE A COUPLE OF THEM,
ACTUALLY.
JOHN: IN THE MORNING, THEY WILL
RECHECK EACH AND EVERY HOME, AND
THERE IS ONE MOBILE HOME JUST A
BIT DOWN THE ROAD, WHERE THEY
HAVE ALREADY STARTED REPAIRS.
FIRE OFFICIALS WILL BE OUT HERE
TO MAKE EVERYTHING IS SAFE SO
THAT THEY CAN GET BACK TO THEIR
